Dr. S.Sahabudeen
A biotechnologist striving to achieve a sustainable and safe environment by addressing environmental toxins such as micro/nano plastics, multi drug resistant organism in environment. Drosophila melanogaster and other aquatic models are used as a model organism to study the behaviour and physiology after toxin exposure.
In Charge of EBP-SRMIST lab, an international industry sponsored lab for research and consultancy work on environmental aspects.
